i To all whom it may conce-rn:

ne it known that 1, .Kassen FRZER, of the uy of Syracuse, New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaft-Tags which are designed tobe improvements upon the shaft-tug for which I hold Letters Iatent ofthe United States,

'dated May 28, 1867, and numbered 65,068 5 and I doV herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction of the same, and

the form thereof when complete and ready forfuse',

part of this specification, in which;

' Figure 1 represents a perspective view',-a`nd reference being to the annexed drawings making `a Figure 2, a sectional View thereof. l i

lhe letters used represent corresponding parts wherever they occur. f

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the same.

VI- stitch together, lor otherwise properly t up, a leather strap, A, `of the proper length, when doubled together, to encircle the shaft, the same as in my. specica'tion annexed to said Letters Patent granted to me as aforesaid but, instead of iuclosin g the leatherwith a metal baud in one piece, with an opening on one side to insert the buckle, I now inclose the same vwith the metal bands or supports B and G,.constitnt ing two parts, which, together, make a complete baud when riveted .to the leather.

vExperience has shown that in my former invention,

secured as aforesaidthe buckle-bar cannot be sol read?A ily insertedv in its place with the metal support in one piece, and with an opening on one side, as aforesaid,V as it can when .such support is made in two parts,in the present form which I ynew use. In this formi`v I can supply the trade with a shaft-tug composed of the' leather s trap A and vthe two metal bands B and C,

with the band O fully riveted to the strap A, butwit/'l1 the rivets Z Z in 'the band, B left loose, so that any style'of buckleD ofthe proper size may be readily s inserted by merel ylooseningor taking out the rivets Z Z and slipping thebuckle-bar under the bandf.

.When this is done therivets Z Z may be put in place vand closed down'in any common manner; orut'he buckles may be put in and the Whole nishedupbelf forethe tugs are put upon sale.
